James Anthony Corroo RACINE —James Anthony Corroo, 82, passed away on Friday, August 28, 2015. Jim was born on December 9, 1932 to Anthony and Mary (Postorino) Corroo in Milwaukee. He was united in marriage to Judith Quamme on September 21, 1957 at St. John Nepomuk Church in Racine. They were married for 57 wonderful years. He honorably served our country in the United States Army during the Korean War. Jim was a hard worker, working in his early life for the Internal Revenue Service. Later on he opened two bars and restaurants in Racine, Jamie’s Lounge and Jim’s Parkway. Jim liked playing cards and solving crossword puzzles. He was an avid sports fan, especially when it came to supporting his grandchildren. Jim was also an athlete. He boxed during college at Marquette University and during his Army years. At one point, Jim pitched a no hitter in 16 inch softball. Perhaps the greatest thing about Jim was his sense of humor and positivity.

He cherished every moment he spent with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
